Anupam Kher reminisces about Pride

Anupam Kher's participation in global cinema stands well-acknowledged. However, what many of his fans and followers were not aware of, was his brief appearance in a 1998 Japanese film, Pride. Kher notably played the character of Subhash Chandra Bose. Reflecting on his reach as an actor, Kher himself sounded amused, finding the clip in question after so many years. Posting the old clip to his Instagram account, the veteran actor reflected on how it was a matter of immense pride having had the opportunity to play the role of Subhash Chandra Bose, let alone being able to mouth the legendary lines.

Anupam Kher's proud and reflective caption read, "Not many people know that In a 1998 Japanese film #Pride I played #SubhashChandraBose. It was an honour to say these famous lines by the great man of India. Thank you #AnujDhar for posting this clip. Jai Ho and Jai Hind!".
